Scott addressed Mace’s comments on Facebook, stating that he has used the same airport before entering Congress and that “every interaction” he’s had there has been positive. He also expressed gratitude that airport police “take extra security precautions,” especially given the death threats he has received.

“Those who know me know that I do not use profanity in public or private. It is never acceptable to berate police officers, airport staff, and TSA agents who are simply doing their jobs, nor is it becoming of a Member of Congress to use such vulgar language when dealing with constituents. Not only are these officers sworn to protect us, but we also take an oath to represent them. We work for them, not vice versa,” Scott said on Facebook.

“For those who want to invoke my name, please have the courtesy to note my actions and how I treat police officers, TSA agents, and fellow travelers with the respect they deserve,” he added.

Mace, a three-term congresswoman, is currently running for Governor of South Carolina. Her director of operations, Cameron Morabito, cited her entry in the gubernatorial election as the reason for the heightened security.

“After the world watched Charlie Kirk’s assassination, the threats against her have only intensified,” Morabito added. “Our security procedures are based solely on legitimate safety concerns, and any attempt to politicize this reality is both dangerous and reckless.”
